In this presentation, I hope to broaden attendees’ perspectives on the transformative power of open. Drawing from my personal journey, I will illustrate how opencommunity science initiatives, digital libraries and archives and the Wikiverse have not only fostered lifelong learning but also facilitated the collaborative creation of knowledge that benefits all. I will delve into the significance of community openness and highlight how attitudes of generosity and inclusiveness have inspired me to engage in knowledge co-creation. I will also explore how community openness can elevate the recognition of Mātauranga Māori (Māori ways of knowing) and how this impacts the sharing of indigenous knowledge. Furthermore, I will examine how embracing openness as a practice can become a fundamental aspect of both personal and professional life. I will share insights on how adopting an open approach has transformed me into a dedicated advocate for openness, how the practice of openness influences project priorities and can enhance the proactive dissemination of knowledge across multiple platforms.
